Rockets are just plain awesome. They look simple at first but when you take a deeper look at them, they are incredibly complex. I love them because I think it would be possible to make them better, cheaper and a lot less complex, because lets admit it, rockets didn’t get better from von Braun era. x33 had an idea, but it failed because it was being built by NASA. We needed something like SpaceX to make it. Funny thing is, the main problem with x33 (the composite fuel tanks) was solved so yeah, I see a lot of improvement to be done in rocket industry
